Woman’s Club supports the library with book donation

PARSIPPANY — The Woman’s Club of Parsippany-Troy Hills has donated a book on mental illness to the Parsippany-Troy Hills Public Library System.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is the special state project for the member clubs in the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs.

Club Chairman Claudia McCarthy presented the book, “Behind the Wall: The True Story of Mental Illness as Told by Parents” which offers an intimate look at parenting a child with serious mental illness, presenting stories that have the power to educate, advocate and heal.

This collection of seven true stories told by nine parents offers a perspective unique to parents, who witness the illness unfold, fight the lonely battles on their child’s behalf, and serve as fierce allies for the road to recovery.

The Parsippany Library has other great resources and books on mental illness.

The Woman’s Club of Parsippany-Troy Hills is a member of the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs of GFWC (NJSFWC), which is the largest volunteer women’s service organization in the state, providing opportunities for education, leadership training, and community service.
